Hockey Academy History
The Pilot Mound Hockey Academy opened its doors in 2015 when Rod Collins saw an opportunity to bring professional hockey training to Pilot Mound. Rod had been involved with hockey academies for many years and has coached players like Sidney Crosby and Jonathan Toews. The academy started with one male hockey team which included students from Canada, the USA, Finland and Ukraine.
With the support of the Pilot Mound community, the hockey academy was well under way and on course for growth. Over the next two seasons the academy was able to then introduce a female team, more facilities and the addition of more coaching. This has given the academy the ability to give students from all over the world the benefit of professional hockey training in an amazing little town in Manitoba. PMHA has since grown into four programs, which include Male U15 Prep, Male U17 Prep, Male U18 Prep, and Female U18.

About The CSSHL
CSSHL League Mission Statement: “To be National Leaders in Education-Based Hockey”
In 2009, five like-minded Hockey Canada Sport Schools came together to launch the Canadian Sport School Hockey League. Their vision was to establish a league designed specifically for elite level student athletes, give these athletes an opportunity to increase their skills on and off the ice, and provide athletes with a high level of competition as well as exposure.
The inaugural 2009-10 season featured five sport schools and eight total teams spread across two divisions. During the 2016-17 season, the CSSHL featured 18 sport schools and 60 teams in seven different divisions.All programs within the CSSHL are sanctioned Hockey Canada Sport Schools, meeting the regulations of not only HockeyCanada, but Hockey Alberta, BC Hockey and Hockey Manitoba.
The CSSHL continually strives to be a leader in education based hockey in North America with Hockey Canada registered Sport Schools. The objective of the league is to provide a competitive environment for young student athletes that share similar values of Sportsmanship, Citizenship, Academic Excellence and Hockey Development.
